Now they say enough is enough and have said there is a “disgusting” lack of attention at the Oaston Road cemetery.

Anger has been vented on social media, with one resident fuming. They said: “It is absolutely disgusting that friends of mine have to cut the grass themselves at the cemetery where they regularly visit their little boy.

“This seems to be an ongoing problem and they have had to do it numerous times, over and over again.

They added that the workforce at Glendale, the council’s maintenance contractors, are working overtime to ensure that all land is maintained as soon as possible, weather permitting.

“It is unfortunate that some people have felt the need to cut the grass around their loved ones cemetery plots, grass growth is exceptional at the moment and we have committed additional resources to ensure the cemeteries are maintained to an appropriate standard,” the spokesperson added.
